This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Congrats everyone on your acceptances!!!

Did you all get accepted via email or snail mail? And did any of you get the acceptance letter without receiving the e-mail about being out of committee.

I interviewed late October and was supposed to get the 'out of committee' e-mail in late november and my final decision letter in mid december and haven't heard a thing!

It was an email. And I didn't get anything that said "out of committee" or "your letter has been signed". Maybe they're sending out these emails in waves and you'll get it later today? I'm not sure, but good luck!
 
Interviewed in November, never got any other letter before this. I think it's in waves, maybe alphabetical?
 
(Accepted) URM ,mcat 25, gpa 3.6 science gpa 3.3 , strong personal story , Big focus on underrepresented populations. Interviewed end of October. (Sorry if I forgot to put certain stats it's midnight lol) Best thing I did was get a job and not focus on checking portals every two seconds. Try to focus on other things in your life while you wait. Hope this helps, good luck. Be blessed.
 
Congrats to EVERYONE that got in! This process is so stressful, but I'm happy for you guys 🙂. Merry Christmas!
 
ORM, 3.9 gpa, 3.7 science, 28mcat, worked fulltime for an innercity EMS as emt, strong community involvement, very strong LORs, extensive extracurriculars. I thought I bombed the interview, the interviewer made many comments that I took as negative criticism- even my photo that went along with my application. So I gave up on checking into this school, because I thought I stood no chance. Then I received the email, and couldn't believe it at first. Howard seems like a great program and I'm very happy on being offered the acceptance. I echo WhenPrayersGoUp recommendation, just try not to dwell on it.

Does anyone know of an unbias place to read about the affordable care act that isn't politically influenced?

Has anyone else who interviewed in October not heard back yet? I haven't received my "out of committee" email or any correspondence since my interview! I received my II soon after I was complete and I thought my interview went very well so I'm starting to worry why its been so long without hearing anything.

Have you tried giving the admissions office a call to check on your status?

i wasn't sure if that was appropriate or if they would see is inpatient and annoying. You think I should call/e-mail them?

If I remember correctly, I believe that the packet they gave us during our interview said that we should be receiving information regarding our status within 30 days, and if we don't we could call to inquire about our status. I'm not at work and don't have the packet with me so I could be wrong, but I'll double check when I go home for lunch today.

I sent in My II on October 1st, app complete on 10/6, no interview ... yet ... I'm not sure what to think anymore because someone who was complete on 12/7 got an interview already but a friend of mine with similar stats who applied way early did not receive an interview from Howard but has been accepted to 5 other medical schools

I was complete mid september and I have nothing :/
 
Has anyone called them last week and bit through? Seems extremely slow.
 
Out of committee/decision has been made email today. Said I have to wait until letter is signed to call, between now and January 30. Why so long Howard!! Interviewed 12/8.
 
Would it be wise to send an Letter Of Interest now? I dont really have any interesting update, except that i did good in an upper level biology course.
